other than the fact that I am half Kryptonian and my *real* name is Kist-El
LOL, Sunkist!
I've had several nicks growing up but nobody uses them around me anymore; guess I've outgrown them!
When I first joined the old LOISCLA list - now the Yahoo LCFanfic list - I used my real name. It was only when I was writing my first fanfic that I thought of using an alias. I always got a kick out of nicks like 'LabRat' so I thought it would be cool to have have one too.
There weren't any stories filed under X in the archive. That X was standing so forlorn and empty between all those other letters. Even the Z was happily filled with fanfic! That's why I decided to use a nick starting with an X.
You wouldn't believe the corny names I came up with! Like X-Tera and X-Kal-ibur!
And just when I'd practically given up on the X and decided to use 'Ubee' instead - my initials are U.B. - I heard that old song 'Xanadu' on the radio. And presto! I had a light bulb moment.
That's how 'Xanabee' came about!
